RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–331-5 with Helios Healthcare, LLC a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $473,840, to provide sub-acute skilled nursing care services for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2014, in an amount not to exceed $236,920.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment. (No Rate Increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population in that it provides sub-acute skilled nursing care services for County’s seriously and persistently mentally ill (SMPI) and neurobehavioral clients.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On February 26, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-331-4 with Helios Healthcare, LLC., for the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2013, for the provision of sub-acute skilled nursing care services.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-331-5 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2014, including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this Contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer sub-acute skilled nursing care services available for County’s seriously mentally ill and neurobehavioral clients.
